Strike....well, not really

Given the lack of snow around, a scheduled playdate for today went from "let's go sledding!", to "let's go bowling!". The kids were just as happy and it was so much fun to watch them try something new. 
The girls were ready, sporting their shoes (though it took some coaxing to convince Sid)
Regan had more of a walk up and toss it with two hands mentality; she wasn't real interested in technique. But she had a great time! 
Sidney's shoes were slightly over-sized but she didn't seem to mind. I think she looked adorable in her stripped tights (picked out on her own, in fact, she put them ON all on her own!!) with bowling shoes. 
 Sidney was the only one to use the ramp, then again, she is the littlest by a long shot. She took charge, moving the ramp back and forth during each of her turns. And our little Miss Independent carried her 6 lb ball independently to/from the ramp on every turn. 
 Regan was oblivious to the fact that anyone was keeping score; I just wish the kids didn't gather around this monitor at the end. She had a good time despite her score! And clearly Sidney did quite well on her very first bowling outing!
